‘A Bronx Tale’ is in Palminteri’s blood in show at Smith Center

How ingrained is “A Bronx Tale” in Chazz Palminteri’s DNA?

Fifties-themed Riviera show belongs on to doo lists

The Riviera’s had a lot of second chances lately, and now you can say it’s true of the shows moving in. In the latest burst of new momentum, the vintage hotel has turned most of its entertainment over to a startup called Red Mercury Entertainment. The producers have installed four new titles with more to come. “New” is relative, though, since the three we are talking about here (saving “Men the Experience” for another day) are new twists on older efforts.

TV sitcom stars never die, they just go on to perform at Mirage

Good TV sitcoms have eternal life in syndication, and at The Mirage. “Everybody Loves Raymond” ended in 2005 and “King of Queens” in 2007. Yet stars Ray Romano and Kevin James continue a tradition of teaming up for stand-up comedy at The Mirage, one that dates back to when the shows were still on CBS.

Variety is the space of life, at least in broadening downtown

If the phrase “downtown arena” seems more of a fantasy after a new one broke ground on the Strip, downtown nonetheless has two ambitious entertainment projects going in with the slightly-less-sexy descriptive “Event Center.”

It’s all or nothing at all for Anderson’s Sinatra tribute

Big shoes to fill, that Frank Sinatra. But Bob Anderson has been sizing them up for, oh, 40 years or so now.

Jeselnik finds his niche with wicked one-liners

The more people have come to know what to expect from Anthony Jeselnik, the more they line up to see him as the charming sociopath methodically teeing up one-liners about rape, AIDS, incest, abortion — you name it.

i_4	What are some family-friendly things to do in Las Vegas?	The first day of school is fast approaching for K-12 students, but there’s still time for summer fun.

Right here with this guide to some of the biggest and best spots on the Strip: Drai's, Hakkasan, Marquee, Omnia and others.
